The House quickly considered 10 amendments to the bill — H.R. 3590, the Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act — and voice-vote approved most of them.

The only two amendments that need a vote on Wednesday are from Democrats. One is from Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) would eliminate language allowing for environmental waivers under the bill, and the other is from Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.) to allow the government to ban hunting and fishing if there is an opinion that those activities will threaten federal lands due to climate change.

The rest were either approved by voice vote, or were withdrawn. These amendments were from:

— Jared Polis (D-Colo.), a sense of the Congress that access to National Forest Lands for snowmobilers should be maintained while a winter travel management rule is being finalized. Approved in a voice vote.
